Celebrate Jacques

Celebrate Jacques’ 90th Birthday Nationwide

Chill the Champagne and stock up on birthday candles, because Jacques Pépin is going to turn 90 next year! That’s something to commemorate in and of itself, but at the Jacques Pépin Foundation we’re planning to celebrate both the man and the mission of the JPF.

Our Annual Membership Drive Is Coming

September 25, 2024

Every year when the calendar turns over to October, we turn our attention to welcoming more folks to the Jacques Pépin Foundation Membership family. The JPF Membership program has been a cornerstone of the vision and mission of the Jacques Pépin Foundation since 2020, providing grants to Community Kitchens nationwide and delivering expert recipe videos directly to Member inboxes.

Join Jacques in the Kitchen

Jacques shares quick and easy recipes in his “Cooking at Home” series. For a more in-depth exploration of Jacques' technique, check out “Jacques Pépin: A Legacy of Technique” online culinary course.

We are all equal in the eyes of the stove.

Nous sommes tous égaux dans les yeux du fourneau.

The Foundation

The Foundation was formed in June, 2016 by Jacques Pépin and his closest family to translate Jacques’ inspirational love of cooking, mastery of classic technique, and renowned teaching ability into action that benefits people disenfranchised from the workforce.

As the most trusted name in culinary education, we believe the Jacques Pépin Foundation is uniquely qualified to advance culinary training for our neediest, willing citizens.
